I have some old raw hand histories. If i try to import them into a database where those hands already exists as observed hands, will they be overwritten or ignored? If they are ignored, then i miss out on all my holecards in hands not going to showdown. Antbody know how HM\PT2\PT3 does this, if they override if hands contain holecards etc?

I'm pretty sure PT2 will ignore them, and I'm certain PT3 will update them with the extra info. No idea about Holdem Manager, can't recall reading about how it handles this.

Quick Question...Does anybody know offhand if it is possible to synchronize two virtual machines on different computers? Basically what I want is a single VM to do all my pokering on but be able to use it either on my desktop or laptop and then do some kind of synchronization using an incremental comparison to maintain identical copies on my desktop and laptop. Anybody have any ideas?

Whats the difference between the Holdem Manager HUD and Realtime HUD ?

The developer of RTHUD joined with HM to integrate it into HM. The new HMHUD is 10x better than RTHUD.

I only know of one other person familiar with VMWare, and he does check this thread once a day or so - hopefully he will reply late tonight when he gets home from work.

hmm...I would still like to know if this is possible but I had another thought and I think that I will end up using remote desktop or an equivalent program and just play on my desktop through my laptop.

certainly possible. Not familiar with VMware myslef (QEMU recently for experiments) - but yeah, it holds everything in a single file (virtual disk) - store this on a shared folder, or copy it back and forth, same VM, different hosts, no worries

There may be daft issues with copy protction on certain apps, hopefully not.

I got FTP hh pasting supported for Holdem and non-holdem games. PS holdem works too.
I would need PS non-holdem histories and other sites that should be supported. Please pm me if you feel like helping out.

Yeah I'm thinking a 16GB USB flash drive that just contains an XP VM and a copy of VMWare server might be just the ticket. Just plug into any computer and go!

<1 1 year ago I got a usb2.0thumb drive for 40$, recently upgraded to a new 8gb version for $40. I use it as my daily sync/back-up. At that cost I am ready to get a 16gb for my main, and use this 8gb as a redundant sync.
